my pandora radio mix tells me what i already knew, that i tend to prefer music in a minor key, although i know others, including some in my household, who prefer upbeat, major scale music. similarly, when it comes to art and fashion, i shy away from primary colors, and will steer, almost in spite of myself, toward a secondary palette. so if you ask me, the colors in these autumn leaves ring out in a perfect minor visual chord.
